Making the Most of Your Cliff-Top Wedding Experience

To create a memorable wedding day, think about these elements:

• Timing: Schedule your ceremony as close to sunset as possible for dramatic lighting and cooler temperatures. To avoid the heat of the day, we recommend ceremony start times no earlier than 4.00 pm.

• Decor: Provide your wedding planner with a mood board with photos that show your styling inspiration to be created at the wedding.

• Photography & Videography: Hire local photographers and videographers who understand local lighting conditions.

• Guest Activities: Plan pre- or post-wedding winding down activities like beach restaurant visits, spa treatments or cultural experiences.
